Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations detect vision changes and ocular diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Annual exams are recommended for all ages to maintain optimal eye health.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide custom contact lens fittings for prescriptions including multifocals, astigmatism correction, and colored lenses. Proper fit ensures comfort and clear vision while maintaining eye health. Patients receive training on lens care and hygiene.
Eye Disease Treatment
Our clinic treats conditions like dry eye syndrome, cataracts, and ocular infections. Personalized treatment plans may include medicated drops, lifestyle adjustments, or referrals for surgical options. Regular monitoring ensures effective long-term management.
Emergency Intervention
We address urgent eye issues such as infections, injuries, and sudden vision changes. Prompt care minimizes damage and preserves vision. Our extended hours ensure access to critical treatment when unexpected issues arise.
Retinal Photography
Digital retinal photography captures detailed images of the eye's posterior to detect early signs of diabetes, hypertension, and retinal disorders. This non-invasive tool aids in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Great customer service...like always; that's why I keep coming back. I live in Squamish; and travel to North Vancouver for my appointment every time because of the friendly and professional service level that I don't get from the opticians in Squamish.
